cURL equivalent in Node.js?

Question

I\'m looking to use information from an HTTP request using Node.js (i.e. call a remote web service and echo the response to the client).

In PHP I would have used cUR

Answer 1

Use request npm module and after call

var request = require('request');
request('http://www.google.com', function (error, response, body) {
  console.log('error:', error); // Print the error if one occurred
  console.log('statusCode:', response && response.statusCode); // Print the response status code if a response was received
  console.log('body:', body); // Print the HTML for the Google homepage.
});

For best practice also use some winston logger module or else simple console.log and then run your application like

npm start output.txt 

Result of above command will generate one txt file on root with all data which you have printed in console.log
